About adding deficits and increasing both provincial and federal debts, it is always mentioned that our children and grandchildren will be paying those debts when they get older. I totally agree with this, but what is rarely mentioned is the fact that we pay interest on those debts right now, so we are paying the price “today” with our taxes.

When the interest rate goes up, so will the interest payments.

Enough of this insanity and people in Canada wake up about the promises of politicians saying that everything is “free.” Nothing is free. We are now taxed at 52 per cent of our income from everything from income tax, sales taxes, fuel taxes, alcohol taxes, carbon taxes … No wonder they say you have to work until around June to start earning money for yourself.

The only place I can recall where our troops were even close to being effective peacekeepers was in Cyprus. In Mali there is no peace to keep. If we go into Mali as peacekeepers, it will be a waste of blood and treasure, just like what happened in Afghanistan.

On the other hand, if we send our troops in as peace makers, that is totally different. As peace makers they will have the authority to use their weapons to maintain the peace.

Send them as peace makers and not peacekeepers.

TERRY TALLER KANATA(That could well lead to casualties – will Canadians accept such a mission?)

ARROGANT LIBERALS

How ironic of Bob Delaney, Ontario Liberal MPP for Mississauga, saying that he is proud of the deficit spending and he would do it again. This is proof of the arrogance and incompetence of this Liberal government.

I am quite sure that in his own life he does not live with a deficit, but being a true Liberal he does not give a hoot about spending other people’s money. Mr. Delaney, I wish you a very good holiday when the voters of Ontario finally wake up and throw your gang out.

If we are going to set up a women’s bureau at city hall, there should also be a men’s bureau set up. After all, there are many problems that men have.

Many of the men working for the city are in jobs where injuries often put them off work for some or all of their remaining careers. Very few women are in positions with those risks.

The time has come for males to stand up for themselves and that doesn’t begin with bodies demanding special rights for women. That is, after all, what women want from this new bureau. I may just file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission if this bureau is formed.
